Description
The Corning 1L spinner flask body is constructed of polystyrene, paddle, and shaft from polypropylene and caps from high-density polyethylene. All are made of USP Class VI and ISO 10993-18 compliant materials.
- Preassembled Flasks have one aseptic connector preassembled to one side arm. The opposite side arm has a flat cap. (Cat. No. 3568)
- Recommended working range of 300 mL to 1L.
- Extended paddle design ensures constant top-to-bottom motion of the liquid without having to adjust the height of the paddle.
- Bottom contours on the paddle hug the shape of the flask, eliminating dead spots.
- Two wide neck openings for easy pouring; easily accept a 100 mL pipet.
- Vertical side baffles break up laminar flow – ensures better mixing and maximizes cell production.
- Each system is supplied individually double bagged.
- Sterilized by gamma irradiation; have the Highest Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10⁻⁶ and meets USP XXIV:71 Bacteriostasis, Fungistasis, and Sterility Standards.
- Single-use only. Flasks cannot be autoclaved or resterilized with alcohol. Any attempt to do so will result in degradation of the materials.
- Optional Vented Caps (Cat. No 3567) and Aseptic Transfer Caps (Cat. No. 3562) are available.
Aseptic Transfer Caps are sterile (10⁻⁶ SAL), individually double bagged, and fit the side arms on 1L Corning® Disposable Spinner Flasks (Cat. No. 3561).
- Cap is made of high-density polyethylene; autoclaving is not recommended.
- The venting port ends in a 25mm diameter vent filter with a 0.2 µm pore PVDF membrane and a barbed fitting.
- The liquid transfer port has an internal end with a rigid polypropylene dip tube angled to reach the bottom of the flask and on the external side a 1/8 inch ID (3.2mm), 1/4 inch OD chemically resistant, heat sealable flexible tubing, ending in a male Luer lock (MLL) connector closed with a female Luer sealing cap.
Corning disposable spinner flask replacement caps are available separately. Each is provided sterile and individually doubled-bagged. Caps are available for 500 mL, 1L, and 3L flask sizes.
